Ewe rocking on her rump

    I have a hogget ewe that frequently (maybe once an hour) sits on her left rump and rocks back on forth for a few minutes. She does not display any other symptoms of illness or discomfort. She may have miscarried last winter. Presumably this behavior is to give her some relief from some sort of discomfort.

    To see a video of her in action do a search on YouTube for: Ewe rocking on her rump

    Any ideas what is the cause?

    Would she need a worm dose ?

    No, she has been wormed lately. She is not sitting on her anus, but of the side of her left rump. It seems like she might be getting some relief from an internal problem
